may not have heard of Gabon, one of the World's best kept secrets.
An adventurer's playground and a naturalist's wonderland, it is
a destination untouched by mass tourism, yet is proudly welcoming.
On the West African coast, South of Equatorial Guinea, Gabon is
a stable former French colony of merely 1 million people, with vast
areas of tropical lowland forest and miles of unexplored Atlantic
coastline. As part of the Congo basin, it is one of the most bio-diverse
regions on Earth--on a par with the Amazon. Primates and other large
mammals still abound because of low population and infrastructure,
and as such it is a unique and important conservation region.
Outside, the lively coastal capital Libreville, there are adventures
awaiting travellers with a taste for raw Africa and unforgettable
experiences. Visit golden secluded beaches, majestic jungle rivers,
and towering canopy forest. Watch elephants in classic savannah,
lowland gorillas in marantacae,
and humpbacks in tranquil bays. Or, venture inland by canoe, the
TransGabonais and 4x4 to experience estuaries, lakes, hippos, crocs,
and outstanding bird life. Gabon awakens the senses.
Below are some other experience suggestions and general info to
help you plan your visit to Mikongo.
